We don't do it. Some restaurants/cafes have tip jars, but it is not a necessity to tip. Staff have an acceptable income without the extras needed from tipping, whereas staff in America and other countries need the extra income as waiting staff do not get as much base income.
In New Zealand it is not standard practice to give a tip in any context (eg. restaurant or hiking). Wages and salaries are determined to give a fair income, and tipping is unnecessary and very unusual. Some places try to encourage tipping but please don't do it unless the service you receive is outstanding. If the hiking trip is wholly organised overseas, follow the practice of the county of origin, unless the guides are New Zealand residents, as their wages will be set without any account given to possible tips.
New Zealand and Australia have distinct currencies. Australia has the Australian Dollar and New Zealand has the New Zealand Dollar. They are not interchangeable or usable in both countries and they have differing values.
There are no werewolves in New Zealand.
The indigenous people of New Zealand are the Maori.
